4) Need Statement-
A local elementary school is in need of an additional computer lab for the 1,052 students who attend Lawrenceville Elementary. Presently the school has two labs; an
IBM lab and a Mac Lab. The IBM lab houses 30 desktop computers equipped with Pentium 4 processors, sound cards, and they run off a Microsoft Windows XP operating system. The networked computers use both a LAN and WAN network and are connected to the Internet via a T- 1 line.

The Mac Lab consists of Apple Computers which do not have Internet connection due to their limited features and speed of these older computers. Stand alone software lab packs have been installed on the computers; students use drill and practice learning sessions.

Teachers require additional computers to provide constructivist learning opportunities for the students; they would like to purchase a portable classroom set of ACER computer laptop notebooks, printer, and rolling cart for student use; this mobile lab will be shared by all grade levels for hands on activities and lessons.

5) Mission Statement-
The mission of the Lawrenceville Elementary Technology Committee is to enhance and engage student learning through hands-on opportunities by using the latest technological foundations. Methods for collaboration will commonly take place to promote high-end thinking and discovery.
